Why oh why would someone fail to maintain the fire suppression system especially if your venting lint into electrical outlets.
Years back I was involved in a fireworks store that burned killing 8 people and badly injuring many others. Sprinkler system was turned off (along with other issues). I willnever forget the photos and testimony of witnesses/survivors.

The story in Rich's link explains why that one still hasn't reopened. I remember hearing a few years ago that it was going to be renovated and reopened.

I stayed at the Kenilworth this year for the club race. I like interesting places like it and will give them a shot since I have plenty of opportunities in my travels to stay in cookie cutter hotels.

I hope the code violations are corrected at the Kenilworth and it reopens.

Instead of spending money on a lawsuit they should be fixing the problem as quickly as they can and hiring a PR firm to restore public confidence.

I wouldn't stay there until I knew everything was fine. Where the hell was the fire department's inspectors before this? Sounds like these problems existed for decades.
